Buds, Bugs, and Bunnies

Yellow daffodil buds on long green stems
Silk gloved hands clasped in thankful prayer
Reaching towards heaven from thin green sleeves
Praising the warmth--- the joy--- the air.

Crispy, wispy ladybug luck lights on my finger.
Red wings rolled like a pair of dice with dots.
Bet on the red, bet on the black.
Everyone wins----it matters not.
"Spring is here!" cries the bug with spots.

Black marble eyes; soft gray ears turned to the sky,
Twitching his nose and munching on a maple wing,
Crouched like a furry football, white stitches on the side,
Bunny ball bounces, kicking up spring.
